- 1
In a saucepan, combine millet and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the millet is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Once the millet is cool enough to handle, beat in the eggs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Grease a round-bottomed dish with butter and sprinkle with semolina. Spoon the millet mixture into the dish, pressing down gently. Place the dish in a larger casserole dish with a little water and steam for 25 minutes.

While the millet steams, prepare the mushroom ragout. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the toasted cashew nuts and fry briefly until lightly browned. Remove cashews and set aside.

Add the sliced Omajova mushrooms to the same pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture. Sprinkle with flour and stir briefly.

Pour in the crĂšme fraĂźche and a little more vegetable stock if needed to create a sauce. Cook gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Carefully turn the steamed millet mixture out onto a plate. Cut into quarters and serve hot, accompanied by the Omajova mushroom ragout. Garnish with toasted cashew nuts.
đĄ Proffstips
- âOmajova mushrooms are seasonal and best enjoyed fresh. If unavailable, large portobello or king oyster mushrooms can be substituted, though the flavor will differ.
- âEnsure the millet is not overcooked, as it will be steamed further.
- âToast the cashew nuts gently to avoid burning.
